the slate 6 are an especially amenable group, and they’d probably take leashes in stride, as some kind of carry-along cat toy, no doubt. they still think the dog is a big cat toy, and lord knows they’re used to being amongst a horde of cats, but they’re still a bit skittish about other people.

the dog and i might go, though he doesn’t approve of being costumed.

The outside group would mug someone, so I discourage people attempting to be friendly. I don’t know how you convince people that wild means just that.
